Cadaver Dans returning to Magic Kingdom starting Sept. 20

Walt Disney World will be bringing back the Dapper Dans to the Magic Kingdom for the Halloween season starting Sept. 20, 2020, as their fall alter egos – The Cadaver Dans.

This is the latest announcement of how Disney World will be celebrating the Halloween season during its phased reopening in the time of coronavirus. The Halloween season celebration will take place Sept. 15 to Oct. 31 at the Magic Kingdom.

Disney previously announced that it has canceled Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but in its place the following will be taking place:

• Main Street, U.S.A. will be dressed up with glowing pumpkin wreaths that inspire the Halloween spirit.
• A Halloween-themed cavalcade will travel down Main Street, U.S.A. featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and pals dressed in Halloween costumes. Guests may also spot Chip ‘n’ Dale in costume in Frontierland, and other Disney characters dressed for Halloween riding the horse-drawn trolley along Main Street, U.S.A. On select days, you may even encounter a cavalcade of Disney Villains – from Gaston and Maleficent to Queen of Hearts and Jafar – creeping down the path, or a nightmarish procession featuring the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington.
• Festive Halloween-themed merchandise will be available in select locations around the park. Featured items include a new spirit jersey, Loungefly backpack and candy-swirl Minnie Mouse headband, along with a selection of apparel inspired by Disney Villains and more.
• The park will celebrate the season with special food and drinks, including the famous pumpkin-spiced waffle sundae.
• Themed photo opportunities from Disney PhotoPass will be available at select locations throughout the park.

While Disney has announced the addition of the Cadaver Dans, they have not mentioned where they will be available to watch. Considering the physical distancing that has been taking place around the park, the group could be part of the cavalcade singing on a float, or could be singing from the Main Street Train Station or other locations.
